Well interesting result. I have been unable to post a particular picture of 4.8 mb,thought it may be because my Internet was very slow at 2.4 Mbps. However now have FTTH at 52mbps and picture still does not want to load? Must be that particular picture.

No improvement I'm afraid. When I drag a photo filename onto the text box the name appears immediately in the list below. When I use the 'old' way of uploading (select the file and click 'open') it takes maybe 10 secs for the name to appear in the box. Neither method gives me an option to place inline. I've waited 10 mins!!

BTW when I drag the filename over the text box a green + appears as if it should work.

Wouldn't be anything to do with Adobe Flash would it? That's not working on this Mac.

It won't be the lack of flash (my iPad and iPhone upload fine) - but the lack of flash on a Mac which was previously working, may indicate an underlying problem that's conflicting with the forum's upload function?

I think it's always been part of the Mac, but only as a plugin in Firefox. For the past 6 months or so I've been getting warnings from some sites (not Scimitarweb I must say) that it's outdated and vulnerable and should be updated. No updates available from Apple, but that may be because this is quite an elderly machine.

I was starting to do screenshots when I remembered I wouldn't be able to upload them...
